This is, of course, catastrophic to our country. One wonders what the supreme court was thinking. History has proven that allowing rich and private individuals or corporations to control government has resulted in loss of democracy. It costs a great deal of money to run for office and this one Supreme Court Ruling has eliminated all those who do not have money or alignment with those who do from being in office. This in effect and reality gives those with money control and power over our country.
